Beginner problem, replace function with for loop

[Motley_Cow]

then loop over it and use if-elif block to check what color is and how many points to add

You're right, I can tell I'm overthinking things. Can you give some example code of what the for loop and if-elif block would look like? I have learned a lot through other responses, but I'm trying to understand the most basic answer that the challenge is asking for.
